  1. I see regression. He initially had, at least, a bit more confidence in short throws. Intermediates and deeps are terrible. But when he drops back, it seems he is taking a second to get a sense of the pocket, like he's needing to shuffle around on a bball court. In the NFL, you trust the line, survey the field and step up. He panics and tries to find a college clean pocket, scurrying around. Honestly, I went back to watch Alabama highlights, and he kind of did this there in big games and they would have a lot of stalled drives. Thing is, he could escape better because he wasn't dealing with NFL DLs. I'm going to one of the current bests, but just look at Stafford last night. That guy can't move at his age. Avila got injured. Tackles were banged up. He had defenders in his face, collapsing pocket. He adjusted. Understood the passing concepts, got the ball out quickly and ahead. Stepped up, got slapped and hit on some throws, but got them out. Bryce plays behind. Reacting to the trench battle rather than trusting it and maintaining focus on the receivers.
  2. And as fans, we can't change it. You can only change the channel. Panthers' fans will be in purgatory until he lucks into either a coach or QB.
  3. The cushy part of local media officially has the green light for critique since it’s year 2.
  4. Baker doing what he's continuing to do is what's super impressive. If we didn't have Rhule & Fitt, we could have probably figured out a decent situation with Baker/CMC/DJ Moore and some promising rookie talents in the past 3 drafts. Just think of the WR and TE talent that's gone through the last few drafts that could've been added to that.
  5. That was when I shut it off. Took it off the Sunday Ticket quad box at 1:35. And honestly, I don't think I'm turning our games on moving forward. There's much more entertaining football to watch out there. And this was the OPENER. This was not week 14 when we were cooked and out of the playoffs, and it's easy to turn off drivel. Just unreal. How long did you folks last today?
  6. Taylor Heinicke and Kyle Allen could come in and run this much better right now.
  7. This was so bad that there was maybe only 1 or 2 games last year that were bigger duds. Regression. No notable change. Behind a line that gave him time. New receivers who got open. Trash.
  8. We can still easily lose most games. We're at the point where he's so bad, I just want a more entertaining tank commander. I'd take legit anyone else at this point.
  9. For sure. Didn't see them losing to the Pats, but I did fear they would be suspect with no BC and after Burrow looked shaky even when healthy last year. They've got some issues there.
  10. Yeah. Falcons lose the Steelers at home Bengals to the Patriots Two huge duds.
  11. Yeah drop back, set, weight distribution, it's just street ball for the kid. No discipline, it removes any decent velocity from the ball when you don't get those fundamentals right.
  12. You look bad for Reich, you look bad for Brown, you look bad for Canales, you may just be bad. I mean the kid can barely produce 2 scoring drives per game. No awareness, no field vision, no ability to outrun defenders, no pocket presence, nothing. Zilch.
  13. I take back everything but Leota lol. Had to bring some optimism before the inevitable product showed its rear.
  14. Not much even needs to be said anymore. We have and continue to suck. Can’t change the owner but you can change what you watch football wise and what you do on Sundays.
  15. Defense looks physically slow. Well, maybe mentally too.
  16. Let’s just ramp the JT kool aid to 10 and spike it. He’s gonna eat and have a Kincaid type season. Not full LaPorta but pretty..preettty good
  17. International games are money bringers but I personally hate them. Can't believe the goal is for every team to have 1 international game per year. I get it, but the forced global reach is straining. I think it would be much cooler if they focused on enriching the existing fanbases--- have 1 game as a "home away from home" game. I.E. - Falcons in Athens, Packers at Camp Randall, Panthers at Kidd Brewer, etc.
